Although progresses in early management of original injury and supporting therapy for the treatment of severe trauma have been achieved

the morbidity and mortality of sepsis following traumatic injury have not been reduced to an acceptable level yet. We suggest that early predictions of both sepsis occurrence and death outcome of post-trauma

and early intervention for high-risk traumatic patients would effectively decrease the morbidity and mortality of post-trauma sepsis. Future work will include screening more accurate parameters and setting up formulae comprising multiple parameters for prediction of post-trauma sepsis.
